Application filed. February l1, 1910.

l this way tie time and labor heretofore generally required for fitting the net to the coiffure andattacliing it by a plurality of hair pins, is greatly reduced, while a disarrangement of the hair dressing, owing to excessive manipulation, is avoided.

In the accompanying drawing: vFigure 1 is a perspective view of my improved hair net, showing it in use; Fig. 2 a side View.

of the net, and Fig. 3 a face view of a length of netted fabric adapted to be subdivided into a number of nets.v

In :arrying out my invention, I produce on a net loom a length of netted fabric which is composed, alternately, of a plurality of comparatively large meshes and a plurality of intervening comparatively small` meshes. Each large-meshed section 10 is considerably longer and wider than the small-meshed section 1l, so that the fabric has two curved edges converging toward the center of the small-meshcd sections, to here form contracted necks. The fabric, constructed as described, is subdivided at tlie center of these necks, (as indicated by the arrows in Fig. to form the separate nets. Each net will therefore be composed of a large-meshcd body or oblong strip with reduced small-meshed ends or selvages, which, owing to the diminutive size of the meshes, effectivelyprevent an unraveling of the threads. Through the outer meshes of each net is drawn a string 1Q, which is then knotted at its ends to be continuous. The size of this string is such, that when the net is in -its normal expanded condition, there June let, 1910.

protrudes therefrom a manually accessible bight 13, such bight projecting preferably from the center of one of the contracted sinall-meshed ends of the net. Bight 13 is straddled by a hair pin 14, which thus dangles loosely from the exposed section of the draw-string.

In securing the net in position, it is preferably so placed upon the head, that it eX-I tends lengthwise over the head from front to rear. The draw-string is arranged to encompass the coiffure, and as the main larger-meshed section of the net is readily expansible sidewise, this manipulation may be readily accomplished. By nowY pulling the draw-string out at the bight, which should be located at the back of the head, the net is contracted around the coiffure.

Finally, the hair pin is inserted in such a manner, 4that the free loop of the drawstring becomes tightened up and thus maintains the net in its gathered condition, so that it becomes sclfsustaining.

It is preferred te make the hair net of very ine silk, so that it becomes practically invisible when worn.

A netof this character is necessarily vvery fragile, but, owing to the construction described, it is reinforced at its most vulnerable points and may be readily applied and worn without being subjected to an undue tearing strain. In this way the life of the net is `prolonged and its manipulation is greatly simplified without detracting from its appearance, or the appearance of the coiffure.

I claim: y

A hair net comprising an oblong strip formed of large meshes, a small meshed selvage at each end of said strip, and a draw string passing through the large meshes of the oblong strip and through the small meshes of the selvage.
